Chelation: the process of forming complexes
The entire complex then achieves a high amount of affinity for metals that enables them to be used against removal of metals from not only corroded surfaces but also from within the human body and even on clothes and softening of water
Let us now discuss what the applications of chelating are in different fields. some of the common applications of the chelators are in the field of detergents to be worked with hard water,
softening of water, preservation of food, etc. some of the common ones are EDTA and citric acid. EDTA is a chelator that is used in almost all the above listed applications. Water softening is a characteristic property of the chelators. Steam engineering is one of the fields where these all are brought under use.
Let us start with the first and the most important application of the chelation, i.e., the chelation treatment. Sometimes there is a heap that is formed within the human body by poisonous metals that can only be removed only if they are mixed up with any agent and then removed via excretory system. Lead and mercury are few of these metals. EDTA is one of the chelators that are proven to get mixed up with metals and even rare earth elements. The chelators make sure that the toxic metals do not get in touch with the organs which could be harmed by these metals. Also the process is supposed to help in treatment of a mental disease called autism in which a person talks to himself. In spite the treatment has shown few negative impacts, but this is one of the ultimate options. If a person undergoing atherosclerosis has to undergo chelation treatment, he is given a fixed and safe amount of the chelators so that the
